We were not alone in taking a stance against what many have been calling the ‘immigration ban’. Multiple prominent executives of tech companies have also shown their support by offering to match donations to the ACLU: Stripe CEO Patrick Collison, Nest founder Tony Fadell, Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield, and Facebook’s head of advertising Andrew Bosworth, just to name a few.

Thanks to tech executives and nearly 1 million people who have made online donations, the ACLU has received over $79 million in new contributions since the election. We’re happy to announce that we’ll be adding another $17,030 to that total!

The ACLU is using these donations to continue its 97-year-long battle for justice, equality, and democracy. The ACLU has even been accepted into the winter batch of companies enrolled in top Silicon Valley startup accelerator Y Combinator. The nonprofit will receive mentorship and guidance on how to best utilize donations to grow the organization and its infrastructure.
